    One of the original point and shoot cameras this is the Ansco Shur-Shot Jr. It had no adjustments for the F-stop (shutter speed) or focus or anything else. You use the appropriate view finder for either a vertical or horizontal photo and click.
    The photos are not large about 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". Using a scanner you can make them much larger. Have a feeling the photos would be black and white.
    These had the usual leatherette covering over a cardboard and had an aluminum front. Circa 1948 is when these began, not sure when they ended.
